Bright Smile toothpaste~with coconut oil


3 Tablespoons Organic Coconut Oil


4 Tablespoons Baking Soda

2 drops grapefruit seed extract

8- 12 Drops therapeutic grade organic essential oil of your choice.

Stevia - to sweeten to your taste (Personally I don't add it but others might like a sweeter recipe)



I also gargle with Hydrogen Peroxide for teeth whitening effects.


Mix all the ingredients together and store in a container with a lid.

Essential oils such as lemon, clove, lime, cinnamon, peppermint, eucalyptus, rosemary or licorice are safe to be used internally. Essential oils are anti-fungal, anti-viral , antimicrobial and antibiotic.

I rarely have bad breath anymore.... the grapefruit extract really helps.
